PAGE SIX Triple Mat Lineups Uncertain In Lehigh Meet By BOY WILLIAMS Although the final outcome of the Penn State -Lehigh wrestling match, set for Rec Hall at 7 tonight, is the major topic among the Lions’ most avid wrestling fans, there is one major question that needs answering before the match’s outcome can be considered. That question revolves around the men who will be named to “start” by their individual coach ea. Coaches of both Penn State and Lehigh will definitely be relying heavily on the strategy of out guessing each other as to where what men will weigh in. Alterations Seen Speidel definitely will be plan ning on making alterations in his lineup, but these changes will come only in four weights. The four weights that will prob ably remain the same as in the Lions’ last two matches are 123, 130, 177, and heavyweight. Penn State’s lineup in the other four weights—l 37, 147, 157, and 167 is a different story. In the last two meets Larry Fomicola (137), Dave Adams (147), Len McNeal (157), and Joe' Hum phries (167) have been Speidel’s choices. Lehigh Juggling Lehigh, however, has made re peated lineup changes in these four weights, particualrly at the 137- and 147-pound divisions where Captain Ken Faust and Dave Bates both undefeated have switched weights. Also Ed Eichelberger, the third member of Lehigh’s undefeated quartet of matrnen, has moved in and out of the 147- and 167-pound divi sions. Lehigh will be juggling its line up at 137, 147, and 157 pounds to capitalize on the Lions’ weakness es, and Bates, Faust, and Eichel berger look like the most logical men to be included in such a maneuver. Two Weights Uncertain The 157 and 167 pound divisions are two more brain teasers. De pending on who is chosen for the three lighter weights, Lehigh has a choice of using Eichelberger, Faust, or Don Whited at 157 pounds.
